Creating an Energy Efficient Home

The purpose of this blog is to chronicle our challenges and successes in creating an energy efficient home. We live in Maine, which as you probably know, can get very cold in the winter.

We have been learning about what it takes to manage an energy efficient home for some time now and have taken some steps toward creating an energy efficient home, but we have a long way to go. For a while, we thought we would just buy some land and build a new energy efficient home from scratch but we weighed our options and decided we would make an effort to do what we can with our current home.

We think there are a lot of little things we can do to save energy, save money and, hopefully do our part to preserve the Earth for our children and grandchildren.

Each of our entries into this blog will highlight a step we have taken to create an energy efficient home. Feel free to post your comments and let us know what you have done. Thanks and enjoy.
